In 1624 when Pascal was just one year old, Cardinal Richelieu was appointed Chief Minister by the king of France. In that position, he directed France's domestic policy as well as foreign policy which was largely dominated by the Thirty Years War.

In 1651, Charles I was executed publicly after his army was defeated by the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War.

On the year of Pascal's death 1663, France consolidated her possessions in the North America collectively called 'The New France' only to lose it a year later to the English.
